Chapter 981 The worldly atmosphere
"It does look quite down-to-earth..." Li Jinxing sighed softly, but did not comment on the restaurant that Nie Yao brought him to.
The two walked in and found that there were already quite a few customers inside, eating enthusiastically. The strong aroma of chili peppers hit their noses.
Seeing these people carelessly rolling up their sleeves and feasting without caring about their image, Li Jinxing frowned slightly. He was a little uncomfortable after all. He whispered to Nie Yao, "Yaoyao, does this restaurant have any private rooms?"
"There are no private rooms..." Nie Yao shook her head and smiled at him, then pulled him to a rather secluded and quiet place, and the waiter came over directly with the menu.
Nie Yao ordered several of the most famous dishes from the waiter. Li Jinxing didn't interrupt until Nie Yao ordered several more bottles of beer. Then he couldn't help but ask, "Yaoyao, are you sure you want to drink so much beer?"
"I ordered it for you!" Nie Yao explained with a low laugh, nodding towards the table nearby and smiling at Li Jinxing, "Look, these braised prawns are best enjoyed with beer!"
Li Jinxing could only nod, not quite understanding, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
The braised prawns hadn't arrived yet, but the edamame and barbecue that Nie Yao ordered arrived first. Nie Yao picked up the chopsticks and handed them to him, smiling and suggesting, "Try it! The barbecue here tastes pretty good!"
Under Nie Yao's encouraging gaze, Li Jinxing picked up the grilled skewers and took two bites. His slightly wrinkled brows soon relaxed, and he looked at the skewers in his hand with some surprise.
Seeing this, Nie Yao smiled and asked, "How is it? Did the taste not disappoint you?"
"It tastes great, cooked to perfection, the meat is balanced between fat and lean, not greasy at all, and very fragrant..."
Li Jinxing praised the place several times, and Nie Yao smiled and said, "That's right, this place is famous for its barbecue skewers and braised prawns. When the prawns are served, you should have a good meal!"
After hearing what Nie Yao said, Li Jinxing became even more expectant.
When the braised prawns came up, Li Jinxing was a little hesitant for a moment. The shrimps he had eaten before were all peeled by others, and he had never peeled them by himself.
Seeing his hesitation, Nie Yao picked up a braised prawn, peeled it, and placed it on Li Jinxing's plate. She smiled and said, "Take one first. These braised prawns are more fun if you peel them yourself!"
Li Jinxing picked up the shrimp meat that Nie Yao had peeled for him, took a bite, and soon showed an expression of approval.
Nie Yao demonstrated how to peel the shrimp to Li Jinxing, then ate it with a satisfied expression. She smiled and said, "I really like this braised prawns..."
Seeing Li Jinxing sitting still, Nie Yao hurriedly urged him with a smile: "Eat quickly, just like me, you see everyone else is eating like this too!"
Seeing this, Li Jinxing followed Nie Yao and peeled the shrimp himself. He was a little uncomfortable at first, but gradually got the hang of it. He smiled and joked, "No wonder when I came in, I saw so many customers rolling up their sleeves to peel shrimp and eating them so enthusiastically. It turns out it really is a unique experience!"
"Of course!" Nie Yao nodded and said with a smile, "Every summer when it's shrimp season, this place is always bustling with activity. I didn't have many opportunities to eat here before, but since I came back this time, I've been thinking about it, so I brought you here to try it today. You'll find that it's no worse than those high-end Western dishes! This is what I like, the flavor of life..."
